CC&U bold Mng. Co. ID~719-689-4040 <br />• <br />JUN 15'95 608 No .001 P.03 <br />• <br />nitrogen contained in the Pad 3 material compares favorably to common agricultural fertilization <br />practices. I should also point out that it is the intent of nitrogen fertili>ation to provide nitrate <br />nitrogen since tl»s is the form that is readily available to plena, <br />You mentioned that one way to address your concerns would be to commit to ground water <br />sampling and treatment if drinking water quality thresholds for nitrate or sulfate were ever <br />exceeded. As you arc well aware, CC&V presently monitors ground water quality from <br />numerous existing ground water monitoring wells. Committing to pumping and treating should <br />ecrtain thresholds be exceeded (based on drinking water criteria) for nitrate or sulfate is not <br />justifiable as explained above. Suclt commitments could potentially foster fears of financial <br />liability due to reasonable application of nitrogen fertilizer during reclamatlon. While such <br />concerns may not be justified they are as realistic as your concerns relating to CC&v's reuse <br />of the Pad 3 material. <br />If you have any additional concerns that you would like us to address, please call meat 719-689- <br />4041. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~ <br />Scott Wanstedt <br />Supervisor, Lnvironnrenlal Affairs <br />Tll.E: PAD3.LTR <br />
